Sin of the mind, avaunt! begone! Why sayest thou what none should say? Go hence away, I love thee not. Go to the forests and the trees. My heart is in our homes and cows.

2 Whatever wrong we have committed, sleeping or waking, by ill-wish, dislike, or slander, all these offences, which deserve displeasure, may God take from us and keep them distant.

3 O God, Mighty and Lord of Prayer! whatever foolish deed we plan, may the Provident One preserve us from the sin and woe.
